Thanks to a coordinated effort between the Wayne County Sheriff's Office, Wayne County Chief Executive Office, Wayne County Department of Technology and New World Systems (now Tyler Technologies New World Public Safety), we will soon implement new Jail Management System software. JMS is designed to help facilitate jail operations and inmate management. This new system will replace the current inmate management software that has been in place since 1999. This project is the largest IT implementation in the County since we went live with the current system. It offers interfaces and integrated technology that are impossible with our current system. As the Sheriff's personnel becomes accustomed to the new software, this system will increase the efficiency of jail operations, reporting capabilities and reduce liability. I know what you're thinking, how does this affect me?read more

Wayne County Sheriff Benny N. Napoleon—on behalf of the men and women of the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office—express sincere condolences in the loss of Police Officer Paul Kenyon Butterfield II. Office Butterfield II was killed Sept. 9 while doing a traffic stop on Custer Road near Townline Road in Mason County’s Sherman Township. Officer Butterfield II served with the Michigan State Police Department for 14 years and was a Distinguished Expert Marksman, defensive tactics instructor, arson investigator and an evidence technician. He was also awarded the MSP Unit Citation for his role in a murder investigation in 2004.

In remembrance of Officer Paul Kenyon Butterfield II, Wayne County Sheriff Benny N. Napoleon and the WCSO observed a collective moment of silence through motor patrol on Saturday, September 14, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. All Sheriff Units activated their emergency equipment for 15 seconds in honor of Officer Butterfield.

"Accepting the call to serve and protect is at the very core of public service and sacrifice. The men and women who own the uniforms and badges of law enforcement have one goal in mind, preserving the peace for the innocent. That is why they are called Peace Officers. Their mission is rife with emotional and physical challenges and no one day is like another. They and their families never know when they leave their home if it will be the last time they will see their loved ones. To this end, I salute all who have died in the line of duty. They are true heroes."
